kill me

[judy_o_green]

galileo's head was on the block

his crime:
was looking up the truth

and as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
i try to trace them to my youth

AND THEN YOU HAD TO BRING UP REINCARNATION
over a couple of beers the other night

AND NOW I'M SERVING TIME FOR MISTAKES
made by another
in another lifetime

how long till my soul gets it right? ?

can any human being ever reach that kind of light? ?

i call on the resting soul
of galileo
king of night vision
king of insight

and then i think about my fear of motion
for which
i never could explain

some other fool across the ocean
years ago
must have crashed
his little airplane

HOW LONG TILL MY SOUL GETS IT RIGHT? ?
can any human being ever reach that kind of light? ?

I call on the resting soul
of GALILEO
king of night vision
king of insight

I'M NOT MAKING A JOKE

YOU KNOW ME

I TAKE

EV-
RY-
THING

SO

SE-
RI-
OUS-
LY

IF WE WAIT FOR THE TIME
TILL OUR SOULS GET IT RIGHT

THEN AT LEAST I KNOW THERE'LL BE NO NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION!!!!!!!!

in my lifetime!

I'M STILL NOT RIGHT!!!!!!

i offer thanks to those before me...
that's all i've got to say...

'cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime

now,
i have to pay

but then again

IT FEELS LIKE SOME SORT OF INSPIRATION

TO LET THE NEXT LIFE OFF THE HOOK

but she'll say 'look what i had to overcome from my last life

'i think i'll write a book'

HOW LONG TILL MY SOUL GETS IT RIGHT

can any human being ever reach the highest light

except for galileo
god rest his soul

king of night vision
king of insighe

how long--
how long--
how long--
